Design, planning and construction of Digital Buildings.

In 10 years, people make use of buildings equally to computers and smart phones today.

Imagine, a whole commercial building can be handled like a smart phone today.
Available, not by the end of this century, but by the end of this decade.
People and machines will interact with the buildings for daily life purposes.
A building will not be longer something you occupy, it will be something you use.

Our living and working worlds are changing rapidly and will be completely
digitized in just a few years. At the same time, our existing building stock
widely remains at the structural level of the 20th century. This does
not provide an adequate basis for a digitized world. It will inevitably
have to come to a massive digital transformation of the construction and real
estate sector. An operating system has provided the basis for each digital revolution so far. Therefore the company LEITRON GmbH has started to develop a general
building operating system LEITROS. Let us introduce you to our vision.

What is a digital building?

A digital building is a physical building with the
ability that users (human beings or machines) can
interact with it in a digital way. The physical building
itself can be digitalized by physical electronic
equipment (type 0) or has a virtual twin of its physical
building (type 1). Both digital models of the
building can be connected in real time, but do not
necessarily have to.

Our definition type 0 - a physical digital building

A digital building is a real life building with functionality and equipment ready for digital life and digital workplaces

Our definition type 1 - a virtual digital building

A digital building is a virtual building of the real life building as its digital twin and will be accessible via standard Internet technologies for all purposes of usage and operation

virtual and visual

real-time data

real-time processes

accessible via digital building OS

What is BIM?

Building information modeling, short
BIM, is a digital representation of the
building to facilitate exchange
and interoperability of information in
digital format.

From CAD to BIM. The evolution of the BIM method.

And what is the difference?

BIM is a basic element for digital buildings.
But today BIM is not ready for building operations management.
BIM is not a software system that is able to show real time data
of buildings or even control building environments. Therefore
digital buildings need separate software systems. We think it
will be a general building operating system - a building OS.

source: LEITRON GmbH

The "BIM Wave" is an forecast of the near future.
When more and more building projects will be designed and
erected using BIM methods, more and more building owners
or operators will start to find solutions for digital
building operations using this BIM data.

A digital building Operating System.

The OS will be available via standard browsers and standard hardware.
It can be run in every building, in a property management environment or a data computing center (cloud service).
And it will use non-standard open source micro-kernel environments for safety & security reasons.

A disruption.

What do we think and what are we convinced about?

One of the ‚what’s next‘ questions will be answered by digital buildings.
It will become a mega trend inside of digitalization.
And it will be a disruption to today‘s real estate industry within
the next 10 years all over the world - and is going to change it forever.
Especially the asset and property management services will disappear and get automated.

We create solutions, together with people who are passionate about technical developments.
We integrate fantastic simple solutions in the digital building environment and create a holistic building operating system.

air-Q powered by Corant.

The Corant GmbH, presents air-Q – a device to analyse indoor air quality. Humans spend up to 90% of their time inside.
There, everyone respires “his” or “her” own air which is determined by factors such as the interior, the construction materials,
the number of people in the room and the ventilation habits. The vision of air-Q is one of smart rooms that, with the aid of
relevant environmental data, allow people to live and work healthier and more productively, and even save costs.

Our responsibility.

We think digitalization gives our society the opportunity to rethink our behavior at all. We change procedures, we change the way things work - so we can also change the way we think. Digital buildings are open for access. Information transparency helps to save energy. Standardization
in design, construction and operation will reduce costs and in turn the rents to be paid by tenants. The digital building program is an opportunity to rethink the way we work and live.

responsibility 1: save resources

Digital buildings will help to save resources and reduce some of the ecological stress societies produce.
Collecting and comparing data from digitized buildings will reveal potential saving effects and optimize the
input of electricity, heat and water. Landlords and leaseholders can analyze current and future consumption
and adapt their strategies to save costs, which in turn help to save resources.

responsibility 2: analog human beings

We cannot predict if human beings are getting digitized themselves in the future, but our mission is to
support each one who prefers his existence the way it has been before: since the first days of mankind,
inventions help and assist us to make life more comfortable. We long to continue this approach and want to
transfer innovation also to analog human beings in terms of the dialog. We want to support decision-makers
to develop an understanding of inherent processes and logics in managing facilities and (real estate) properties.

responsibility 3: social awareness

The initial motivation for digitizing buildings may vary for different actors in the real estate markets. We feel
obliged to address the issue and our agenda to everyone. We are convinced that the economy in
general and decision-takers should use the full potential of new techniques and innovations and transfer the advantages to the entire society.

responsibility 4: simple buildings

Keep it simple. This is one of our primary directives. Digitalization shall make things not more complicated
than before. It shall solve problems and do not create additional ones. No matter how difficult and complex a new
technique may be, the outcome of its use should always adapt to the needs of those affected: transparency and
intuitive access to data. Due to this simplicity everyone can make the right decisions by themselves. That is our understanding of
situational awareness in digitized worlds.
